Getting Fit!

A while ago I posted that I was going to start p90x. Unfortunately, this plan fizzled out not long after I started it. I really did not enjoy the workouts, and found the videos quite annoying. Even though this plan failed, I have since begun a new workout regime that I am hoping will suite me better. I have started doing workouts from bodyrock. These workouts are centered around home fitness, and can be found on youtube for free! I love that they are short and to the point, and yet have made me sweat every time I do them. These exercises focus on high intensity and short duration. I have been doing at least 1 workout 5-6 days a week for the last 3 weeks and can already see a change in my endurance/stamina. I am hoping to tone my body and decrease my body fat percentage. In combination with working out, I have begun transitioning to a more high protein diet. I am working to challenge my disordered thoughts, and channel my negative drive into a healthy lifestyle change. This is just one step in my long journey of recovery.
